What happened in the vegan community?

I hadn't heard about any of this until seeing that ToS post.

It's because they don't actually give a shit about animals, they just want to feel morally superior.

Same as anyone wanting to ban x, y, or z "for the children".

Same as people who want to stop using a perfectly good term because they think it might be offensive to such-and-such group, despite never actually consulting any members of such-and-such group.

This is an absurd take. Vegans have to sacrifice a lot. I absolutely love animals and it's insane to me that someone can't see the amount of torture and murder of animals there is out there.

I decided to cut out, as much as is reasonably possible, anything that was made by or is these animals. I don't do this because I want to feel superior, I do it for the animals. Most vegans don't do this for attention. Just because you see some vegans shouting online doesn't mean we're all like that.

Yeah, I guess I should clarify that I only meant the terminally online ones
